Comment 2 for bug 1174325

I have emu 1616m PCI card.

Apparently booting 3.5.x achieves something similar as booting Windows.

This is how dmesg looks after I have booted Windows, rebooted into Ubuntu with kernel 3.8. As I wrote, in such case everything works. Interestingly Card options is 0x4 instead of 0x8. And there are no lines with audio dock firmware loading.

[ 18.169454] emu1010: Special config.
[ 18.169572] emu1010: EMU_HANA_ID = 0x3f
[ 18.169573] emu1010: firmware file = emu/emu1010b.fw, size = 0x11bdc
[ 20.310378] emu1010: Hana Firmware loaded
[ 20.310424] emu1010: Hana version: 1.6
[ 20.310481] emu1010: Card options = 0x4
[ 20.310504] emu1010: Card options = 0x4
[ 20.311001] emu1010: Card options3 = 0x4

Is there some tool to manually control loading of the firmware? Any debugging info that could be switched on? Anybody has tried 3.8.8 or 3.9 with Ubuntu 13.04?
